About the clutch, normally with a 2WD the transmission can be moved forward
to access the clutch.  With 4WD the transmission is more limited to where
it can move.  If I were going to change my clutch... I'd pray for it to be
the one on my Rabbit Pickup!  With my Syncro I would remove the engine.
Totally removing it from the Van my not be in order but moving it back and
down a bit in front is definatly in order... While you are at it replace
all the oil seals and bearing... you only want to do it once!
